Margarita Kuleva, is a sociologist of culture, artist, and curator. She is based in New York and works as a visiting professor at Tufts University. In 2022-2023, she was a postdoc at New York University Jordan Center. Additionally, she collaborates with TAEX, a London based platform for digital art as a senior curator. In her research and art projects, she mainly uses ethnography and performance as methods.  She is interested in exploring social inequalities in artistic production and boundaries in access to culture. In particular, her PhD was devoted to the ‘behind the scenes’ of cultural institutions to give greater visibility to the invisible workers of culture. In her performance practice, she explores the opportunities of various urban sites such as public swimming pools or beauty salons to design more horizontal and inclusive forms of public education.
